The Canadians are exceedingly(极其,非常) angry. I realise this can sometimes be difficult for foreigners to deduce, given our national struggle to express the full range of human emotion outside ice hockey riots. However, let me assure you that the prime minister Canadians saw take the stage on Saturday morning in the wake of(在……之后,紧随……) the collapse in trade negotiations with the US was a Mark Carney practically vibrating(颤抖,震动) with fury.
加拿大人极其愤怒。我明白,鉴于我们民族在冰球骚乱之外难以表达全部人类情感,外国人有时很难察觉这一点。然而,请允许我向你保证,周六早上,在美加贸易谈判破裂后,加拿大人看到的登上舞台的总理,是一个几乎因愤怒而颤抖的马克·卡尼。
“You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked,” he said, in a rare press conference that was as candid(坦率的,直言不讳的) and clear as he ever tends to be. “That’s fine … We’ve got the reserves, we’ve got the resilience(韧性,恢复力), we’ve got the plan, we’ve got the focus. We’re gonna respond, we’re going to focus on what we can control and what we’re going to build.”
“当你受到攻击时,你就处于战争状态。我们受到了攻击,”他在一次罕见的新闻发布会上说,这次发布会和他一贯的风格一样坦率而清晰。“没关系……我们有储备,我们有韧性,我们有计划,我们有重点。我们会作出回应,我们将专注于我们能控制的事情以及我们将要建设的东西。”
Canada walked out of(退出,离开(谈判等)) negotiations, with a deal apparently on the verge of(濒临,即将) completion, mere hours before 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian exports were due to kick in(开始生效,起作用).
加拿大退出了谈判,而协议显然即将达成,就在一系列加拿大出口商品面临50%关税生效前几个小时。
